Timelies all!
Quiet here. Mr. S decided at 3pm that he wanted to go to the playground, so he and Gary are still out.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Every now and then my hair hits a point on my neck where it bothers me, and I reach behind my head with the scissors and chop it off. My stylist is going to give me such a look when I get a post-vaccination haircut.

Got word today that my uncle that had a huge decline a couple of months ago with dementia (end up being fluid on the brain that they cannot treat) now has pneumonia and a hospice nurse has been brought in.
JFC.
I am so lucky to have known all my grandparents and to not have lost aunt or uncle yet, and still have my parents.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, msbelle

I'm so sorry, msbelle.
I am not a big beer fan, but I do like Blue Moon beer, I recall.
We spent a decadent day WoWing, going for a drive (including the soon to be neighborhood), and WoWing some more. I am surprisingly wiped out. Got a shake from Sheetsz, too, which is my current fave shake out there. I am such a not-expensive date, I tell you what.
Tomorrow, back into packing.

move out and draw fire
My life has been so different. We were really locked down for maybe 4-5 months? But the kid and I have gone in for multiple haircuts over the year and I got the last of the navy blue stripped out. I've been going in to an office to work without fail other than a month last March-April. My son's been back in evening martial arts (distanced) and I sit at a cafe while he's there. We pick up food from a local business a couple times a week. The hospitalization rate has been very low, and the mortality rate lower.
I occasionally see someone wearing a mask not over their nose, but rarely...apparently there were a couple people at work that didn't want to wear masks and they got fired. Everyone's been very diligent about safety protocols and it makes a difference.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Got my second shot yesterday. I went to bed very early. Still a little dizzy, but I've been trying to drink a lot of water.
The experience here has also been quite different. We're under a rolling average of 5 cases per day (on an island of 200,000) so we've felt okay to go back to our small in-person game nights with masks. Half of us are now vaccinated. But they're being real slow to proceed through the age groups, I think partly because we have so many essential workers getting it (2 percent of the total population of the island will be getting shots next Saturday in a megaton) and partly because the old people are actually signing up for it.

I'm sorry msbelle.
My mom got her second shot Thursday (only side effect was a sore arm), so in a week and a half or so dining out at places with patios is back on the table just in time for decent spring weather. No idea when Phase 2 begins vaccinating here as yet, but I'm hopeful it'll be before summer.
